I suppose I should accept without question that Kabila has a good reason for hating mini-skirts, the position of prime minister, and political demonstrations, and for delaying elections for two years. I guess that on a continent with a mere handful of actual democracies, I should pretty much assume that THIS rise to power is different from all the others. Well, I'm certainly hoping that Kabila can come across with the goods for the people. I'm happy to disbelieve the mainstream media. I'm happy that Mobutu is gone, God knows. You'll have to forgive me, however, if I point out that Kabila may not be starting well. peace boddhisatva p.s. - I find it interesting that you should accuse someone of being "hostile" to anything. --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
